St. John’s Prep Basketball Coach Dave Clay along with High Perception Hoops Founder and Brooks Girls Basketball Coach Ben Chase are thrilled to announce that we will be running a Boys and Girls Basketball Clinics this summer. As former teammates at NHS, Coach Clay and Coach Chase relied on the outdoor courts throughout Newburyport to sharpen their skills. They are now looking to raise money through basketball clinics to help improve the outdoor basketball courts for current and future basketballplayers in our community.The basketball clinic will focus on players developing the fundamentals of the game through skill work, small sided games and 5v5 play. Along with learning the skills necessary to play basketball, all coaches will educate campers on the importance of being great teammates, communicating on/off the court with peers, competing at a high level and sportsmanship. It will be a fun learning environment that will challenge your son/daughter skills to help them raise the level of their game to become a complete basketball player. Players will leave camp with an understanding of how to put themselves through a workout along with an array of drills that they can incorporate into their own workouts. This will afford them the opportunity to be in control of their own basketball development.

We take that opportunity very seriously. And while we appreciate technically skilled athletes, our program is designed to stretch far beyond the confines of athletics.Above all, we value Sportsmanship, Integrity, and Coachability in our students.Though athletics are the primary foundation for the programs we offer, we know the unrivaled importance of formal, in-class learning that the children receive during the day. As such, we tailor all of our programs to reinforce any in-class learning material that we can. In nearly every program, we are able to teach elements of mathematics, geography, biology, kinesiology, and more…Check out their website for more info https://sportszone101.com/ Nerf BattlegroundsCome join the Sports Zone Lieutenants as we test our individual and team effectiveness in battle!

We take that opportunity very seriously. And while we appreciate technically skilled athletes, our program is designed to stretch far beyond the confines of athletics.Above all, we value Sportsmanship, Integrity, and Coachability in our students.Though athletics are the primary foundation for the programs we offer, we know the unrivaled importance of formal, in-class learning that the children receive during the day. As such, we tailor all of our programs to reinforce any in-class learning material that we can. In nearly every program, we are able to teach elements of mathematics, geography, biology, kinesiology, and more…Check out their website for more info https://sportszone101.com/ Nerf BattlegroundsCome join the Sports Zone Lieutenants as we test our individual and team effectiveness in battle!

As former teammates at NHS, Coach Clay and Coach Chase relied on the outdoor courts throughout Newburyport to sharpen their skills. They are now looking to raise money through basketball clinics to help improve the outdoor basketball courts for current and future basketballplayers in our community.The basketball clinic will focus on players developing the fundamentals of the game through skill work, small sided games and 5v5 play. Along with learning the skills necessary to play basketball, all coaches will educate campers on the importance of being great teammates, communicating on/off the court with peers, competing at a high level and sportsmanship. It will be a fun learning environment that will challenge your son/daughter skills to help them raise the level of their game to become a complete basketball player. Players will leave camp with an understanding of how to put themselves through a workout along with an array of drills that they can incorporate into their own workouts. This will afford them the opportunity to be in control of their own basketball development.

As former teammates at NHS, Coach Clay and Coach Chase relied on the outdoor courts throughout Newburyport to sharpen their skills. They are now looking to raise money through basketball clinics to help improve the outdoor basketball courts for current and future basketballplayers in our community.The basketball clinic will focus on players developing the fundamentals of the game through skill work, small sided games and 5v5 play. Along with learning the skills necessary to play basketball, all coaches will educate campers on the importance of being great teammates, communicating on/off the court with peers, competing at a high level and sportsmanship. It will be a fun learning environment that will challenge your son/daughter skills to help them raise the level of their game to become a complete basketball player. Players will leave camp with an understanding of how to put themselves through a workout along with an array of drills that they can incorporate into their own workouts. This will afford them the opportunity to be in control of their own basketball development.
